I’m going to become a champion for the lesser curses, like ‘wankclown’.

Edit: getting replied to by a load of scumwits. disgraceful behaviour

I thought those were just the rules?

This was the centrifuge through which they distilled the kids worth giving a shit about.

Yes, I know centrifuges don’t distill. No, I will not be making any modifications. And, if you asked in your heart, you were probably the chaff spun aside by the Iron Dais of Judgment.

I don’t think being a ye olde big blonde rapist is gonna help someone handle a Sidewinder missile.

Wait, kids don’t use the index? How do they find things in the book?

I don’t know about your textbooks and what ages you’re referring to but I remember many of my technical textbooks had citations in the back.

How do you have the name of a “rotund Native American woman” just hot in the holster?

Why didn’t they put the semicolon in the expanded statement?

“*Video game piracy is not stealing” is closer to a statement I can get onboard with. A trivial example to disprove the former statement is the classic, seafaring pirate.

But a more salient example would be pirating music. If you have a pirated copy of an album such that you don’t need to buy another and don’t stream it from any official sources, you are materially and negatively impacting that artist.

Edit: it came to mind after I posted you might hold the position “I haven’t taken anything from them and I wouldn’t have bought it regardless of my pirating, so I haven’t deprived them of anything.” A position I’ve seen a number of times and fundamentally disagree with. Not trying to be rude but I’m not going to engage with that particular thought experiment.

Define “works”?

If you’re a CEO, cutting all your talent, enshittifying your product, and pocketing the difference in new, lower costs vs standard profits might be considered as “working”.

If, 24 months from now, most people aren’t coding, it’ll be because people like him cut jobs to make a quicker buck. Or nickel.

Sure, in the broad, capitalist sense, you can’t blame the company.

But, as just a collection of people, you can absolutely blame them. Saying that a company has no fault in deciding to use aggressive, manipulative methods to pull money out of people no matter what feels on the level of saying 'I couldn’t help myself, they should’ve stopped me from being terrible".

Wow, this is my one of my least favorite reincarnation isekai yet

Coffee and additional, out of pocket sugar. Just go to Dunkin, for the love of God

As the other guy said, lunch specials aren’t dynamic insofar as any pricing can be dynamic when the restaurant just changes prices willy-nilly. Which is what surge pricing is.

Lunch specials are a separate, generally static part of the menu. Like how using a coupon isn’t considered dynamic pricing for the times when you have a coupon on you.

Jesus fkn wept, is this real?

Thought it was corn.

That is not always the case, from my experience

I just cannot fathom this absolutely brainlet, short-term thinking. Yeah, these people have created some of the best content we’ve ever made (according to player feedback). Let’s fucking fire them all!

When did “investing” die and rise as a revenant obsessed with burning down the building to get one more penny? Do billionaires know something we don’t and are burning everything down because the planet’s gonna explode?

Yes. And it was a healthy demon.
